OverviewOverview of Key SkillsThere are lots of skills involved in the game of Hockey, but to name a few key skills this would include; passing, dribbling and tackling.Passing: (COMPLETE THIS SECTION)Dribbling:When dribbling a player can perform this skill using their open stick, known as open stick dribble, or using alternating open and reversestick which is called Indian dribble. This is a more advanced method of dribbling that requires a high level of skill to perform. Dribbling isusually most used by the midfielders and forwards. Defenders would rarely dribble as it is risky to dribble too close to their own goal andthey could be put under pressure by an attacker. If they were to lose possession whilst dribbling around their own goal area this couldresult in a goal being scored against them. Midfielders and forwards would use fast dribbling when moving into space on the wings andif there are no options to pass and no danger around from the opposition. A forward is most likely to dribble using Indian dribble whenthey are one on one with the goalkeeper or a defender.Tackling:There are two main types of tackle that are seen in a game of Hockey, both need to be performed safely and must make contact withthe ball and not the opponents stick, otherwise this is deemed as a ‘stick tackle’. The first method is called a block tackle; this is a basicmethod of tackling that enables the defender to physically ‘block’ the attacker from continuing on their pathway. The second method iscalled the jab tackle, this skill requires much higher levels of skill than the block tackle. This tackle is performed using only one hand, theleft hand which is at the top of the stick. The defender must time this tackle perfectly to ‘jab’ their stick towards the ball and interrupt thedribbling pathway of the attacker. Block tackles will be the preferable choice of tackle for the defensive players on the team as it is amore reliable method of tackling and the risk of performing a ‘stick tackle’ is less likely than a job tackle. Jab tackles are frequently seenused by forwards to try and put opposing defenders under pressure and push the ball away from their stick, hopefully gainingpossession.Marking/ shadowing:Marking is a crucial part of the game for every player on the team but even more so for the defensive line, as if they fail to mark theirplayer effectively this could result in a goal being scored against them. To mark effectively when defending close to the goal mouth Ineed to be goal side of the opponent in a low body position with my stick close to the ground in order to block any attempt they make toget passed. I also need to be on my toes and ready to react to any movements they make or changes in direction. I should always try toread the game by predicting where they might make a run to or if they signal with their stick where they want to receive the ball I shouldbe prepared for it to be passed to them. When marking as a midfielder or forward, players normally choose to front mark their opponentsto prevent them from receiving the ball in the first place and reducing the options that the team have to pass.When shadowing the ball this is when the opponent has possession of the ball but they are not in a threatening position on the pitch so it isnot necessary to go in for a tackle as this could result in you performing a stick tackle or the opponent using a skill such as a V-drag tomove the ball around you and attack towards your goal. The aim of shadowing is to force the mistake by your opponent, for example, byusing your body to ‘show’ your opponent where you want them to go and almost blocking the angle off for the space they want to dribbleinto you can attempt to force them off the side-line. It is important to maintain a low body position at all times and be on my toes so I canmove at the same pace as my opponent.Shooting: (COMPLETE THIS SECTION)Level 4Accurate overview of the skills covered using the correct terminology.Does break some the skills down into how important they are for different positions.There is sometimes more description of the skill rather than why it’s important for the performer to be able toundertake or what might happen if they can’t.

Some of the key components are covered – however they could have been broken down further such aspassing you could have had a number of passes being discussed.How to ImproveTo gain higher level for ‘overview’ must overview all of the key skills involved in the sport on the specificationboth core, advanced and decision making.Tactical/compositional ideas relevant of the activity should be includedGive pupils a copy of the sport page from the specification.It is also useful here to refer back to the legacy spec exemplars of the Analysing Performance task. These canbe found on the CPD hub.AssessmentAssessment of Strengths and WeaknessesPassing:My push pass is both powerful and accurate; this is a skill that is a particular strength of mine. I am ableto use this pass effectively in a range of situations, for example, when clearing the ball out to themidfielders when I have successfully gained possession back from the opposing team. I am able to usea push pass to make small passes with a team mate to quickly pass and move up the pitch from ourdefensive area towards the opposition’s goal. I am most confident performing this type of pass so Iusually select this pass over a slap or a hit.I can perform a slap; however the quality of this pass varies depending on the situation I am in. If I am ina pressured situation and I need to perform the pass quickly I often get under the ball too much causingit to come up into the air towards the opposition. This is usually deemed as a lifted ball by the umpireand therefore a foul is given against me. If I am completely unopposed, for example, when taking a ‘hitout’ I am able to perform this pass with some power and accuracy. Although, the times where this passwould be most beneficial, such as when trying to clear the ball from defence up towards the forwards, Ifail to perform it effectively. I would identify the slap pass as being a weakness within my skills base.The only time during a game that I might choose to use a hit would be when taking a ‘hit out’ or if I wasstriking on an attacking short corner, as I would need lots of power on the ball to prevent the opponenthaving a chance of stopping the ball on its pathway. The reason why I don’t use this type of pass duringthe main part of the game is because to perform it well I need to be under little or no pressure andprefer to have more time to prepare for this type of pass. On occasions where I have tried to use it in apressured situation I have swung and missed the ball completely, or swung and ‘topped ’ the ball,meaning it had little or no power and did not reach the desired team mate, therefore putting me underimmediate pressure from a counter attack. If in a game I swing and miss the ball and there is a defenderclose to me it is a foul against me as it is classed as dangerous play. I would therefore classify the hit asa weakness of mine; however the need for this skill during the game is not as essential as a slap or apush.My reverse stick passing is mainly ok, however I can only perform reverse stick push and slap withaccuracy and control. It is rare that I can perform a reverse stick hit correctly. Therefore I do notnormally attempt this skill within a game situation; I would only ever practice this at training. I would usea reverse stick push or slap is I had the ball on the left hand side of my body and a defender wasclosing that side down, I would pass the ball to a team mate towards the right of my body.Dribbling:I am able to perform both open stick and reverse stick dribbling with control in a non-pressured gamesituation. When I am under pressure I am only confident using open stick dribble as I can perform this atspeed and control. I can perform Indian dribble under control for a short period of time and then I find Imiss control the ball with the pressure of an opponent near me.Tackling:I can perform both block tackles and jab tackles, although I am most confident with block tackles andwhen I do sometimes use a jab tackle I often get pulled up by the umpire for a stick tackle because Imake contact with their stick instead of the ball, therefore I try to avoid using this type of tackle. Thereare certain areas in the game where I would be more likely to select one of the tackles, for example, I

would always choose to use a block tackle when I am in my defensive quarter of the pitch because it ismore reliable, whereas I would consider using a jab tackle if I was in my attacking quarter of the pitch asit would not be as threatening if I was not to gain possession of the ball as they would still have to covera large amount of the pitch before scoring.Bottom Level 5What is covered is valid and justified with accurate practical examples given.States both strengths and weaknesses but there is no real quantitative data to justify their explanation justqualitative.How to ImproveLook at rank ordering the skills to help justify which one you will be selecting for the action plan to improve.How did they come to the conclusion that they were strengths and weaknesses? Where’s theresearch data to give the evidence to support the statements? (COMPLETE THIS SECTION)It is also useful here to refer back to the legacy spec exemplars of the Analysing Performance task.

Movement Analysis and Classification of SkillsSkill: Slap passWhen performing the slap there are numerous muscle groups and joints involved in the movement.Antagonistic muscle action refers to the muscles which are both working and resting to allow a particularmovement to be performed. The muscles always work in pairs, for example, the biceps and triceps or quadricepsand hamstrings. A fixator is a muscle that helps to stabilise the movement that is taking place.Firstly, to get into a low body position to prepare for this pass, the left leg is forward and the lower bodyassumes a lunge position. The left and right knees are bent at roughly 90 degree angles. The knee is a hinge jointand can therefore move in flexion and extension. The left knee is pointing upwards and the right knee is close tothe floor, but not touching it. When in the preparation phase of the slap pass the knee move into flexion, wherethe hamstrings act as the agonist muscles and the quadriceps as the antagonist muscles. The movement isstabilised by a fixator which in this case is the gluteals. When in the latter phase of the movement, when I moveupwards after the follow through, the knees move into extension. In this movement the quadriceps are nowacting as the agonists and the hamstrings are the antagonists. This movement is stabilised by the fixator whichis the hip flexor.The hips allow the lower body to get into this wide stance lunge position by performing both flexion at the lefthip and extension at the right hip. The hip is a ball and socket joint which allows a full range of movement;flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation and circumduction. When the left hip moves into flexion toprepare to perform the slap pass, the hip flexor is the agonist muscle, producing the movement, and the glutealsare the antagonist muscle, which are relaxing. The abdominal muscles act as a fixator in this movement. Theright hip moves into extension to prepare to perform the slap pass. In extension at the hip the gluteals areacting as the agonist muscle and the hip flexor is the antagonist. The fixator in this movement is the latissimusdorsi which supports the gluteals in creating the extension. When moving out of the slap pass position, afterthe follow through, the left hip moves towards extension. This movement is created by the contraction of thegluteals. The right hip moves towards flexion, caused by the contraction of the hip flexor.(Image of hockey player lunging forwards, stick flat to ground, ball half way up stick, the hip and both knees arecircled)(Image of hockey player lunging forwards at full stretch having just hit the ball, stick is raised at knee height.)(COMPLETE THIS SECTION)In the upper body the two main joints that are involved in performing the movement of the slap pass are.

It can also be applied to a performer whois learning a skill. A simple skill may be learned all in one go just by means of repetition, whereas a complex skillmay have to be broken down into stages to be learned over time. The classification of a skill along this continuumis supported by the amount of decisions or judgements that a performer must make.I have chosen to place the slap pass slightly closer to the complex end of the continuum because although it’s askill that could be learned all in one go by repetition, it can also be broken down into stages and learned graduallyover time. The performer might start my learning this skill in a static position whereas in the future they mayprogress this into performing the skill whilst moving which is therefore a more complex skill that would need tobe learned in stages.Slap passSimpleEnvironmental Continuum: (COMPLETE THIS SECTION)ClosedComplex
